The expectation of the Botanical Gardens and their maintenance is of utmost importance if you want the local community to cherish and visit it and experience the aura of the place.

Unfortunately, with most expectations, I noticed that the security person managing the place was selling the tickets to enter the site. I just realised that this place was out of disaster.

Nevertheless, the entrance seemed well-maintained to impress the crowd at the door with various types of flowers and plants, and most of them were captivating to your eyes and sense of joy.

As you move further up. You would notice couples shamelessly making out under the plants and covering under certain bushes, making it scary for the children. I also noticed a group of adults celebrating with liquor and no sense of decency.

The lake, or pond, was almost drying up, the garbage on the walk paths was cluttered, and there was no maintenance.

You have a spot for the kids to play, which is not maintained. Overall, it was pathetic even to call it a Botanical Garden; you have a bunch of guys staring at girls so that they can find some visibility.

I was not...
